Kena: Bridge of Spirits is an upcoming action-adventure game developed and published by Ember Lab. Kena: Bridge of Spirits was showcased at the Tribeca Film Festival; reception to the demo was positive.
The story follows Kena, a young spirit guide who uses her magical abilities to help deceased people move from the physical to the spirit world. In combat, the player uses Kena’s staff for light, heavy, and charged attacks. An upgrade transforms the staff into a bow. When defending against enemies, the player can activate Kena’s pulse ability, which acts as a shield and has a health meter that depletes when attacked; it also serves to provide clues and activate objects. The player is tasked with collecting small spirit companions known as the Rot. They can be directed to complete tasks, such as moving objects, taking certain shapes, or distracting enemies. The player must damage enemies before the Rot builds enough courage to join battles. The Rot can be customized with different hats.The game utilizes the DualSense controller’s haptic feedback for features such as Kena’s Spirit Bow.
The game is presented through a third-person perspective. Made with Unreal Engine 4, it will be available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Microsoft Windows on September 21st 2021.
